1. Is the breaker for the pump on?
2. Check the pressure gauge at the tank. What does it read?
3. Do you have a water softener or filter?

You're not alone any more. You have a whole gaggle of experts waiting to help.
OK! So now we know that the pump has power, Does the pump up to pressure and shut off or simply keeps running? If the pump shuts off when it reached pressure then I want you to bypass the water softener. Do you need instructions on how to do this? What I'm attempting to find out is where you have pressure up to. What does the gage on the pump read? Back to you, Tom

When you turn off the valve at the pump that supplies the house will it pump to pressure and then shut off? If the pump's running 24/7 shut it down and let it cool off. Please answer my first question. You have a leak somewhere. I'm just trying to find out where.Let me know , Tom

You have a leak OR a pump that is not able to pump up to pressure. But Tom is right in telling you to turn off water to the house to see if that solves the pump running constantly problem. If it doesn't, then looking at the pump/well would be next.
